Arkansas vs Mississippi State Prediction
Mississippi State isn’t an easy place to play, but this has been a letdown of the season, and time and time again the Bulldogs lack the offensive horses. Hubbard is great, but things start to get dark down the rest of the roster. Arkansas is far and away the more balanced team with more scoring depth, and this will be a pissed-off team after losing to Kentucky. I just don’t have a lot of faith in Mississippi State. I’ll lay the reasonable number with the Razorbacks on the road.
